[Outro]
alright, here's where it gets complicated.
in the first bar, use your fingers to strum the high strings while using your thumb to keep hitting the
low D string.
while playing the G/D chord, use your other hand to TUNE DOWN the low D string to C then, you slide up to
the 7th fret to start the next bar (yes, this is actually what he did in the recording!)
it might need a bit of practice (or just a good ear) to get it right consistently
